Perhaps you're having problems with your laptop's performance, a virus or you simply want to sell it on and remove all your programs, files, passwords and other sensitive information. In these situations, a recovery partition is your friend. <span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: noto_serifbold; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">See also</span>: <a href="http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/pc-upgrades/3461703/how-speed-up-computer/" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: rgb(205, 9, 18); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="How to speed up a computer; speed up any PC or laptop">How to speed up a computer</a>.</div><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7em; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">It's a little more difficult than a smartphone or a tablet but we'll show you how to do it step by step.</div><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7em; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Most laptops don't come with recovery discs any more but if yours does then this is still a fairly easy way of performing a factory reset. If you didn't get any discs in the box, then there's a good chance your laptop has a recovery partition.</div><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7em; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">This is a hidden part of the hard drive which safely stores a complete copy of Windows, drivers and extra programs. You can use it return your laptop to the exact state it was in the first day you had it - and it will perform just the same, too. This guide will show you how to access and use the recovery partitions to factory reset your laptop.</div><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7em; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Please bear in mind that the processor will vary between different brands of laptops and even different models. The recovery software will be called various names for each brand of laptop, along the lines of 'recovery manager'. We've done our best to put together a 'one size fits all' guide.</div><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7em; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">In general this will work for <a href="http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/software/106237/microsoft-windows-7-review/" rel="follow" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: rgb(205, 9, 18); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Windows 7</a> and previous versions but <a href="http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/windows/3284198/microsoft-windows-8-review/" rel="follow" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: rgb(205, 9, 18); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Windows 8</a> laptops will typically have a recovery application which is launched from within Windows so check your app menu.</div><h2 style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: noto_sansbold; font-size: 1.4rem; font-weight: normal; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">How to factory reset a laptop</h2><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7em; margin-top: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: noto_serifbold; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Step One</span></div><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7em; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Backup any data which you wish to keep before performing a factory reset. You will probably want to copy everything from your user folders, including documents, photos, music and videos. The factory reset will delete all these along with any programs you've installed since you got your laptop.</div><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7em;

Different manufacturers use different software to restore the 'disk image' from the recovery partition, so we can't provide specific guidance. However, the process is almost always automatic once you've confirmed you definitely want to proceed, so it might be a case of waiting for 30 minutes for the job to happen in one go, but some systems restore Windows first, and then install drivers and programs automatically when Windows first boots. If that's the case, don't try to do anything until you see a message saying the restore has finished.</div><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7em;
